Key Features

Premium T304 Stainless Steel Construction

Our exhaust headers are crafted from high-quality T304 stainless steel, delivering exceptional durability and corrosion resistance even in harsh weather conditions. The robust 7/16" steel plate head flange prevents cracking or warping, ensuring a leak-free seal for years to come.

Performance

These performance headers are engineered to support improved exhaust flow from idle through mid-range RPM. The optimized primary tube diameter (1-5/8") and 2-1/2" collector design improves exhaust flow, unlocking your LS engine's true potential—expect noticeable gains in both horsepower and torque.

Vehicle-specific design for LS Engine Swaps

Designed specifically for engine conversion swap header applications, these shorty headers provide hassle-free installation on Chevy C10 and S10 platforms. The compact design clears steering components and frame rails while maintaining optimal ground clearance.

Superior Welding Quality

Each set of Chevy headers features precision TIG welding throughout, creating wear-resistant and crack-proof joints that withstand extreme temperatures. Our short tube headers are built for long-lasting durability under demanding driving conditions.

Complete Installation Kit Included

Every purchase includes a complete set of exhaust manifold bolts, gasket, and all necessary hardware for installation. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.

Description

Transform your classic Chevy or GMC truck with AMVirtuo LS swap headers, engineered specifically for LS engine conversion projects. Whether you're restoring a vintage C10 pickup, building a high-performance Camaro, or upgrading your Silverado for better exhaust flow, these exhaust headers deliver the perfect combination of power, sound, and reliability.

Our Chevrolet headers are manufactured from T304 stainless steel with a mirror-polished chrome finish that resists corrosion and looks stunning under the hood. The 1-5/8" primary tubes are optimized for LS-series engines ranging from 4.8L to 6.2L, providing excellent exhaust velocity without sacrificing low-end torque.

At AMVirtuo, we believe performance upgrades shouldn't be a luxury. That's why we've designed these headers to offer professional-grade quality at a price point that respects your build budget. Every set is tested for fitment and durability, ensuring your LS swap project starts with a solid foundation.

The Bottom Line: If you're investing in an LS engine swap for your C10, S10, Camaro, or Silverado, headers are the better choice for maximizing your engine's potential. More power, better sound, longer lasting.

Installation Notes

Professional Tips:

  1. Pre-Fit Before Installation: Test-fit the headers on your engine while it's on a stand. This helps identify any clearance issues with steering shafts, firewall, or frame rails before the engine is dropped in.
  2. Firewall Clearance: Some S10 and Camaro LS swap builds may require minor firewall lip modification. Use a hammer to carefully flatten the firewall edge if headers contact it.
  3. Steering Shaft Clearance: On certain vehicles, the steering shaft may need slight adjustment or a smaller-diameter shaft to clear the headers properly.
  4. O2 Sensors: Plan your oxygen sensor placement before final installation. Some builds require O2 sensor bung relocation or extension harnesses.

Estimated Installation Time: 4-8 hours (professional shop recommended)

Pro Tip

Test-fitting headers while the engine is on a stand can help identify potential fitment issues before installation. This saves time and prevents costly rework during the final install.
